Warrant: Hampstead man exposed himself to child at grocery store

PENDER COUNTY, NC (WWAY) — A Pender County man now faces more than three dozen child sex crime charges. The latest one comes from Charlotte.

Charlotte Mecklenburg police issued a warrant Thursday for the arrest of 70-year-old Haywood Elwood Garner for felony indecent exposure.

According to the warrant, in 2015, Garner allegedly exposed himself at a Charlotte grocery store in front of a four-year-old.

WWAY also learned that Garner previously worked in our area as a clown entertainer but investigators say none of the alleged victims came into contact with him through that business.

He remains in the Pender County Jail with 37 child sexual assault felonies.

He’s being held on $4.65 million bond.
